Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M)
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean
What this model is
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published by Johns Hopkins University,New York University (NYU), in United States of America, in October 2022. The organisation is categorised as academia,Academia.
It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
What went into building it
The training set ran to roughly 102,000,000 tokens.
Answers
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) — common questions
Is Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) open source?
No. Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) have?
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) has 182M parameters. Table 3. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
Who created Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M)?
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published by Johns Hopkins University,New York University (NYU), based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Academia.
When was Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) released?
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) was published in October 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) used for?
Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M)?
None. Verbatim Memory Transformer (182M) is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
